Ralph Boehme 24905ba82d docs-xml: remove explicit "constant"
The constant mark applied to types "string" and "ustring". The previous patches
in this patchset already markes all string options as either constant or
substituted, but it's still possible to add options or change existing ones to
be neither constant nor substituted.

In order to enforce strings to be either constant or substitued, remove the
explicit constant marker. Instead, any option that is not marked as substituted
is implicitly made constant.

This patch doesn't change behaviour and all generated files are the same before
and after this change.

<para>
This parameter may be used to override the compiled-in default printcap name used by the server (usually
<filename moreinfo="none"> /etc/printcap</filename>). See the discussion of the <link
linkend="PRINTERSSECT">[printers]</link> section above for reasons why you might want to do this.
</para>
<para>
To use the CUPS printing interface set <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups </command>. This should
be supplemented by an additional setting <smbconfoption name="printing">cups</smbconfoption> in the [global]
section. <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups</command> will use the &quot;dummy&quot; printcap
created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS configuration file.
</para>
<para>
On System V systems that use <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> to
list available printers you can use <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = lpstat
</command> to automatically obtain lists of available printers. This
is the default for systems that define SYSV at configure time in
Samba (this includes most System V based systems). If <parameter moreinfo="none">
printcap name</parameter> is set to <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> on
these systems then Samba will launch <command moreinfo="none">lpstat -v</command> and
attempt to parse the output to obtain a printer list.
</para>
<para>
A minimal printcap file would look something like this:
<programlisting format="linespecific">
print1|My Printer 1
print2|My Printer 2
print3|My Printer 3
print4|My Printer 4
print5|My Printer 5
</programlisting>
where the '|' separates aliases of a printer. The fact that the second alias has a space in
it gives a hint to Samba that it's a comment.
</para>
<note><para>
Under AIX the default printcap name is <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/qconfig</filename>. Samba will
assume the file is in AIX <filename moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> format if the string <filename
moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> appears in the printcap filename.
